What are you doing today?

Realizing that I’ve been shopping at YYE for 10 years…10 years ago this week, I made my first YYE order (which was the then-new YYF Popstar). Knowing it was the holidays, I was not expecting my throw to arrive until maybe the week after. I was wrong. Fast forward to 10 years later, still experiencing that predictable, consistent quality service from here, got a couple throws arriving this week just before Xmas…so yea, just wanted to give a shout-out to YYE :slight_smile:

Aside from that, continuing my adventures on the PS5…today, playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure. This game only makes me want to pick up LittleBigPlanet again to make my own things…loved that game 10 years ago… Will be a good avenue too for taking my mind off of the ugly that’s to come - extended shelter-in-place orders in CA (saying possibly keeping these restrictions to at least February…

Being given a giant frozen Honeysuckle turkey for Christmas.

Only to then realize it’s WAY to big to fit in your small oven.

I’m so sad! :frowning: A bunch of the stuff I ordered her 3 weeks ago, still haven’t shown up in the mail. Big bummer…but at least the 3 main items I wanted to get for her got here. A big hedgehog blanket, pillow and little garden statue.

Never did get a picture of all the items unwrapped, but here’s the small pile all wrapped up. Will leave them out on her porch late tonight :slight_smile:

I thought I was ordering a pillow…turns out it was only a pillowcase!
It had a zipper though, so I got a bunch of fluff and stuffed it myself! lol

Honestly, I was thinking about this today and wondered if you pulled it all together. I’m glad you were able to get some of it together in time. She will be VERY happy. There’s a 5 year old boy in my building a few doors down. I left a Secret Santa gift bag outside his door - a box of Legos, a 5 pack of Hot Wheels, a 16 pack of Crayolas, two cool coloring books, and multi flavored Tic Tacs.

He stays here with his dad most of the week and then goes to his mom’s on most weekends. It’s a tiny apartment. I see how happy he is when he gets a new toy and I know he loves Legos and no one can have too many Legos!

Had to pick up a last minute xmas gift earlier, made the trek to one of the quieter Walmarts and had quite a few people annoy me - walking right behind me and not giving me my space, expecting me to move faster for them. Social distancing around here is definitely not a thing… I should have done a shoot the moon :slight_smile:

@twitch77, you do realize that people are using the lite bulbs to spy on you over the internet. :upside_down_face:

Spent the morning clearing my driveway, similar to this guy

Was supposed to go to my nephew’s for Christmas. Think I am pretty much snow stranded. May just stay home and make a pot of chili.

Working 11:30 - 8pm running activities for guests at the resort and practicing Zipper whenever I get free time. Zipper really throws a spotlight on my shortcomings but I am determined to master it and get to the point where I can do it while looking at the TV.

My sister and I went to her son’s house for Christmas. Among other things I gave his kids kendamas. My nephew made a bet with them. Individually, if they could do it on the first try he would pay them $100. Every try they took to do it after that he took $1 away. If it took more than 100 tries they have to pay him. My great niece wanted to practice first and did it on the second try. It took her 50 more times to do it again. But hey, she got $50. My great nephew did it after 45 tries. They were both really happy.
